A True-er Geocentric View

Julian Date: 2456500

I decided to edit the code for the geocentric view to include the ~23.44 tilt in the axis of the earth. The program now also outputs the apparent latitude of the planets on the starting date (which is defaulted to the user's current day). Notice the increased range of motion from the non-tilted version.


Left: Apparent relative radii from the tilted Earth of all 9 planets and the Sun.
Center: Apparent location of planets as seen from the Earth.
Right: Color assignments and initial apparent latitude
